Fool's Gold
THE DIAMOND SERIES,
BOOK 2
Christmas in
Freewill
Christmas Eve, the
Diamond Saloon is empty of its people, and Pearl la Monte has a hankering to
retire early. A pounding at the Diamond’s door rids her of such a fool notion.
Her irritation rises when she sees the prissy, polite-like Garrett standing
outside.
Ethan Garrett has a
powerful need to gain succor. When the saloon’s voluptuous redheaded singer
scowls at him from the threshold of the Diamond, he doesn’t stop to think on
how his ire at her has disappeared. Or how he just wants to spend some time in
her company.
When a blizzard
storms in, trapping them, will they spend their time arguing or find their
irritation for each other disguises something more?
Authors Bio:

daydreaming, inventing fantastical worlds and marvelous adventures. Once she
learned to read (First phrase – To the Beach. True story), she was never
without a book, reading of other people’s fantastical worlds and marvelous
adventures.
Fairy
tales, Famous Fives, fantasies and fancies; horror stories, gumshoe detectives,
science fiction; Cassandra read it all. Then she discovered Romance and a true
passion was born.
So, once
upon a time, after making a slight detour into the world of finance, Cassandra
tried her hand at writing. After a brief foray into horror, she couldn’t
discount her true passion. She started to write Romance and fell head over
heels.
The love
affair exists to this very day.

FOOL’S GOLD
Excerpt
Turning on her
heel, Pearl marched off toward the stairs.
A weird
kind of panic jolted through Ethan, one he’d never felt before in all his days.
It was…he didn’t…. She couldn’t leave him. “Where are you going?”
She
whirled to face him, her irritation plain. “I was seeking my bed before your
arrival, and now I’m seeking it again. Help yourself to whiskey this one time.
I got better things to do.”
Shoving to
his feet, he strode to her. “Don’t just walk away when we’re discussing
things.”
“We ain’t
discussing nothing. You’ll be down here, waiting out the blizzard. I’ll be in
my bed, doing what I was gonna before you arrived. That’s the end of it.”
Taking a
step, she made to leave him. Again.
He grabbed
her arm. “Don’t leave me.”
“Don’t
tell me what to do.” Glaring at him, she stood before the bar, her magnificent
hair slipping from its pins, her breasts rising and falling.
Abruptly,
his mouth went dry. Clearing his throat some, he said, “You’re supposed to
offer succor to those in need.”
“We’re
closed, remember?” Paint-less lips pressed tight together, she glared up at
him.
They were
so close he could see the faint marks of freckles on her skin.
Pearl La
Monte had freckles.
A kind of
haze came over him, tightening his skin and bringing with it something
all-fired powerful and completely unstoppable. All the years he’d known her
crashed through him, all the times she’d flirted with him and meant something
else, all the times he’d seen her perform on stage and wished he could have
held such fire.
Grabbing
her upper arms, he hauled her against him and, ignoring her shocked gasp, he
covered her mouth with his.
****Review****
Fool's Gold was a fun read. It continued with the supporting characters from Rough Diamond which is always good! For a western and Christmas tale there was a lot of story. I really enjoyed the second book in this series!
